Trump Administration Launches TrumpRxgov to Offer Discounted Medications
At a glance
- TrumpRx.gov launched on February 5, 2026
- Website provides access to discounts for over 40 medications
- Agreements in place with five pharmaceutical companies
On February 5, 2026, the Trump administration introduced TrumpRx.gov, a federal website designed to help Americans find lower-cost prescription drugs. The launch was presented as an effort to address medication affordability through a government-operated platform.
President Donald Trump and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz jointly unveiled the new website. During the announcement, Trump stated that users would “save a fortune” by using the platform to access discounted medications.
TrumpRx.gov does not distribute medications directly to consumers. Instead, the website connects users to pharmaceutical manufacturers’ direct-to-consumer portals and offers printable coupons that can be used at participating pharmacies.
At the time of launch, the site included more than 40 medications available for discounts. Among these were weight-loss treatments such as Ozempic and Wegovy, which have seen increased demand in recent years.
What the numbers show
- TrumpRx.gov launched on February 5, 2026
- Over 40 medications featured at launch
- Agreements with at least five pharmaceutical companies
The TrumpRx.gov platform operates through partnerships with several pharmaceutical companies. According to available information, AstraZeneca, Eli Lilly, EMD Serono, Novo Nordisk, and Pfizer have agreed to participate in offering discounted drugs through the site.
The website aims to provide savings for users by directing them to manufacturer discounts and pharmacy coupons. However, the platform does not process or fulfill medication orders itself, instead serving as a referral and information resource.
Some analysts and experts have stated that the actual savings for consumers may be limited, especially for those who already have insurance coverage. According to these assessments, certain patients might pay more through the site than they would using their insurance benefits.
TrumpRx.gov represents a new approach by the federal government to facilitate access to prescription drug discounts. The site’s effectiveness for different groups of Americans may depend on individual insurance status and the specific medications needed.
